The Girl Who Became Three Boys (2012x34)

Air date: Aug 07, 2012

Twenty-one-year-old Gemma Barker is currently serving 30 months in prison for fraud and sexual assault. Over the course of several months Gemma invented and impersonated three different boys 'Aaron', 'Luke' and 'Connor' - each of whom had their own mobile number, e-mail address and social network page. Under these three separate guises she went on to seduce two teenage girls. This film tells the extraordinary story through the personal accounts of Gemma's victims who speak frankly about the experience, and explores Gemma's possible motivations for such bizarre criminal behavior.
